Loved the entire book I am a super fan. I grew up with their music usic it was the way I felt and still feel to this day even today when I hear them it's makes me happy and want to sing and dance I was disappointed that I didn't get the pictures in the book I read it on my kindle fire and missed seeing them ,Glad to read Scott's story your dad was a gifted and brave man.
